Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.

@jeffowski Sensible person, not going to such an dark and brutal, authoritarian state.
@jeffowski Good for her!
Why would she refuse to visit the most totalitarian regime in the world treating women as accessory and property of men?
What kind of women in the world #chess
federation would decide to sanction a tournament in such a rogue state?
#saudiarabia makes #Iran look like San Francisco
...ohhh you mean it was ALL MEN that decided all this ... but she is in focus ... for depriving men of their titles?
